Empowering You to Own Your Story, Live Authentically, and Thrive in Your Relationships.

If you often feel anxious in your relationships or weighed down by past hurts, you’re not alone. It’s common to second-guess yourself, question your worth, or struggle to express what you truly need. Setting boundaries may feel unfamiliar or even bring up guilt, and repeating old patterns can leave you feeling stuck and drained.

You may find yourself longing for deeper connection, something that feels safe, steady, and real. Often, that kind of connection begins with the relationship you have with yourself. As self-compassion grows, you’ll find greater clarity and confidence to engage in relationships that truly honor who you are.

In therapy, we’ll work together to gently heal past wounds and rebuild your self-worth. You’ll gain the tools and insight to fully embrace your story, live with greater authenticity, and create the fulfilling relationships and life you deserve.

If you are ready to feel seen, supported, and empowered, I am here to help.

Hi, I’m Erika Lopez, Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist.

I work with young adults and adults who are ready to deepen their self-awareness, heal emotional wounds, and cultivate secure, fulfilling relationships.

Using evidence-based approaches with an attachment focus, I will guide you through a transformative journey of self-discovery.

Whether you are single, dating, or in a committed relationship, my goal is to help you create meaningful connections that nurture your mental and emotional well-being and empower you to live with greater clarity, courage, and confidence.
